Dynamax Drilbur's Debut in Pokémon GO
Dynamax Drilbur arrived in Pokémon GO at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It appeared more frequently in Max Battles during the Simply Groundbreaking event (November 15th - 8 PM local time on November 17th). After the event, it will continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less often, likely rotating into regular Max Battle appearances at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Can Dynamax Drilbur Be Shiny?
Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion feasible. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the encounter. Utilizing your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages significantly boosts your chances of victory and capture.
Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice-types currently limits this option.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms may still suffice):
| Pokemon | Suggested Moveset |
|---|---|
 Dynamax Blastoise | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
 Dynamax Venusaur | Vine Whip Frenzy Plant |
 Dynamax Rillaboom | Razor Leaf Grass Knot |
 Dynamax Inteleon | Water Gun Surf |
For optimal results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon for strategic switching. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
